At its annual conference next Wednesday, the British Medical Association (BMA) could decide to lobby for homoeopathy to be banned from the UK National Health Service. The validity of the system has always been contested, and I am not naïve enough to take a position for or against the motion in a complicated debate in science and medicine — which are not the same thing, by the way. But I am disturbed by the intemperate dogmatism of the BMA, which has denounced homoeopathy as ‘witchcraft’. I wonder if it’s on a witch-hunt, a related activity which is just as benighted. Its vehemence suggests that the issue is not medical science but medical politics.
